NEW* Holiday Break Classes December 2010

I will offer some classes during the 2-wk Holiday Break this year.
Dates and times to be determined, contact me if interested.

A sample class....

  A typical class begins with Circle Time. This is when we gather together to check-in with
eachother, share stories, and discuss the tools we learned the previous week. Each child
has the opportunity to share any stories or ask questions. The theme or energy tool is
usually introduced at this time. For example, if the 'tool' is the grounding cord, we learn what
to use it for (anger, frustration, overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, etc.), how to make one, what it
looks like, and how to test if it is working. Each week the kids have the opportunity to share
stories of using their tools, and we continue to explore in more detail the tools and what
they can be used for.  By mid-session, we discuss Intuition and this becomes one of the most
amazing tools for the kids as it can guide them for the rest of their lives.

Animal Games have become a favorite in all classes. We all become different animals in
a non-competitive game of chase, developing strength (try hopping around like a frog for
several minutes!), flexibility, agility & connection with all the kids in class.

Eagle Feather Clearing & Drawing Meditation
I created the Eagle Feather Clearing to introduce a ritual in class, allowing connection with
each child individually and as a group. Once each child is 'cleared' with the eagle feather,
they go into the magic circle and color whatever they like.  The pictures are really amazing
and detailed, and I often feel we could spend the entire class drawing. Drawing/coloring is
also considered one of the 'refocusing' tools I teach.

During the drawing ritual, I often discuss the theme or energy tool in detail. I discovered that
the kids can focus more easily if their body is busy.

Yoga
Yoga asanas/poses are typically the next part of class. We often go outside when it is nice
enough to do yoga in the courtyard.

We always end class with a Guided Meditation. I take them on a magical journey to the ocean,
the desert, the mountains, the rainforest, or wherever they want to go.  Sometimes we go on
a journey inside our hearts, and notice where it takes us. Each class is different, and I take
requests from the kids. During the meditation,  I also take them on a sound-healing journey with
Native American Flute. We close by sharing any stories during meditation and bowing to the
divine within "Namaste".
